I am pleased to announce a new VHF-EXPEDITION, which will take place this summer in the island of Crete (SV9). Our goal is to work on all bands from 50MHz to 1296MHz and also on 10.368GHz.

For the last few months, our team is working vigorously in order to prepare the required radio equipment for the expedition, in the best possible way.

Our main goals are:- DXing during the IARU’s 2011 VHF Contest and- Extensive trials on the 10GHz band (either scheduled or not).

The main team consists of the following operators:- SV1BJY Yannis- SV8GKE Michalis- SV2HWR Pantelis

Currently we can only inform you that the station will operate from a vantage point somewhere on the mountains of the Island of Crete (more info will follow after receiving the final official licence for the expedition)

We will be active from the above area from 29 June 2011 until 05 July 2011.Modes: SSB/CW exclusively on 50 MHz, 70 MHz, 144 MHz, 432 MHz, 1296 MHz and 10,368GHz

We are looking forward into filling the SV9VHF logbook with your QSOs this summer
